Despite bitter divisions, Americans are united around pot.
Regardless of which presidential candidate comes out on top, the big winner on Election Day was cannabis.
Legalizing cannabis prevailed in all five states where it was on the ballot.
Of the five states that voted on cannabis, four approved legal recreational marijuana for adults age 21 and older. Mississippi approved medical use, while South Dakota approved both recreational and medical use at one time.
